A piece of land in rural Britain is said to be cursed due to a tribe of gypsies being forced from it for a house to be built that was the scene of several mysterious deaths, now there are new owners. Endless Night by Agatha Christie follows the account of Michael Rogers whose fateful encounter with said property momentarily brought happiness then pain. The story is a first-person narrative from Michael’s point of view, which in the mystery genre means he solves the death which centers the mystery, is the killer of said mystery, or is set up as a patsy at the end. Throughout the book Christie gives subtle clues that only become apparent at the climax, yet from the beginning there was a sense of doom that lingered for the entire narrative. Yet it was this depressing feeling, which for me affected my view of the book as while I was interested in how it was going it in my enjoyment of the reading was frankly nonexistent. Frankly it was a good mystery and very well-written but that depressed feeling for some reason stayed with me even when not reading which made the overall experience negative for me. Endless Night is one of Agatha Christie’s favorites of her own works and is critically acclaimed, while I acknowledge it’s a good story and well-written the overall experience wasn’t for me. This surprised me! The reading experience felt so different from others I've read by the Queen of Crime! Here, instead of following Poirot or Miss Marple, we have a sexy young man as our protagonist! He's irreverent, free spirited, and smart. I was also curious about the exploration of gypsy life at the time of publication in the UK (or the period leading up to publication). Amanda and I had a lot of fun with this one. A possible frenemy added to the suspense and intrigue. The actual murder took me by surprise too, even to the identity of the victim! sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

One of Agatha Christie's personal favorites, Endless Night is a critically acclaimed classic crime thriller from the beloved queen of mystery. When penniless Michael Rogers discovers the beautiful house at Gypsy's Acre and then meets the heiress Ellie, it seems that all his dreams have come true at once. But he ignores an old woman's warning of an ancient curse, and evil begins to stir in paradise. As Michael soon learns: Gypsy's Acre is the place where fatal "accidents" happen.
